Sumit looked at me with disbelief. The food on the plate was long forgotten.
"You knew I had an anxiety attack yesterday and yet you pretended to remain oblivious about it?"

ArunaAn awkward silence dominated the atmosphere as we were on our way to my parents' house. All this was the result of the sudden hug that we shared or that I had initiated. I have never been so bold before as to initiate a hug moreover hug a guy. Not even Akash - my so-called ex. Where was all this bravado coming from? Trust me I have no idea.

ArunaI closed the second suitcase and put it away and walked out of the walk-in closet. It was quite late, and we had a morning flight tomorrow. W had left my parents' house with a teary goodbye. It wasn't easy knowing that I only get to see them, talk to them virtually as we would be miles apart. I had to repeatedly reassure ma that we would be okay, that I'd try to visit them once or twice a year. Somehow I had to convince myself about it as well.

Meant To Be Married 15. Sumit : the Chef
ArunaI yawned and stretched before getting up from the bed. As soon as I left the warmth of the bed and plush blanket, my skin came in contact with the frostiness in the air. I hugged myself and rubbed my arms to gain some warmth. Even though the heater was on, I still shivered as soon as my feet touched the cold hardwood floor.I hurriedly slipped on my flip-flops and pulled on a cardigan.My gaze went to the digital clock on the bedside table.7:30 a.m.Shit.I will make both of us late for work.I rushed towards the door and no sooner did I swing it open than the strong aroma of coffee wafted into my nostrils. Curiously, I went to the kitchen. Was Sumit making coffee? That would be a first. I chuckled to myself. However, other than us, no one else would break-in. I mean the intruder would definitely not have breakfast with me or greet me casually, 'Oh hi there, just broke into your apartment but thought why not have some coffee before I leave'. Hah! I chuckled again at my stupidi
Meant To Be Married 16. He didn't See That Coming
ArunaMy mouth fell open. Did he just say...? My eyes turned into the size of golf balls when I caught the growing smirk on his oh-so inviting lips.I could feel the heat creep up from the base of my neck and spread to the tip of my ears. I scowled at him even though my heart was beating erratically. I tried my best to hold his stare and keep my breathing even. I kept up my front. However, his smirk did not waver at all. My hold on the spoon tightened, his eyes darting towards the small action and his lips split into a full-blown grin as his eyes glinted with mischief.Why that..."Is Aruna Mathur Kapoor nervous?" He drawled. I glared and decided to give my attention to the chocolaty goodness. My mind was frazzled as I cut a small portion and shoved it into my mouth, trying my best not to moan as it assaulted my taste buds and also tried to ignore the burning gaze of my husband.I scrunched up my nose, "Kiss you? Have you seen your face? Had you been Fawad Khan then I could take the o

Sumit"So did you thank him?" was the first thing I asked after entering our apartment. I tried to keep my tone cool even though I was anything but. "Hm," she answered noncommittally from the couch where she was sprawled with a novel in her hand. Not getting my desired answer but not wanting to seem nosy (no matter how much I wanted to be that) I decided to go and freshen up.--*--"So how was your day?" Aruna asked me as I went and took my seat on another couch next to the one where she was now sitting. The paperback copy of 'Gone With The Wind' lying on the coffee table. "Busy," I murmured, taking out my phone and started scrolling through the emails. She snorted, "Yeah, I guessed that much as you did not call me after reaching there". I looked up. My heart did a stupid flip, however, I raised a questioning eyebrow and managed to pull up a smirk, "Why? Were you eagerly waiting for the phone call?""Uh... no. I was not," she replied gingerly before getting up and busying herself in th
